17 WSM cleaning rod guide?

[stephenlnoe]

I searched and didn't find anyone mentioning a rod guide for the bmag and 17 WSM. What are you guys using for a rod guide?

I read where people bought rod guides that were too big for their Savage .17s I went to J Dewey rods and they had a delrin rod guide listed for the Savage 17HMR. I ordered one and it does not fit the B Mag. It's too big. I know that doesn't help but it may save you from ordering the wrong one.

I haven't found anything available. I guess i can just drill out the bottom of a used shell casing and shove it in the chamber until something more permanent comes around. I'm not a big fan of "over cleaning" a rifle.

OUTERS CLEANING KIT 98213....works for me.

I'm not seeing a rod guide in the kit.

For both of my .17 Hornet and my .17 fireball I have a Tipton deluxe. OTOH.....I don't often clean these rifles more than twice a year. (The barrels) Actions and such get wiped out and oiled where needed often.

FWIW

I have a Delrin guide for my Win Mod 52 that fits well enough to get me by. It is not a perfect fit but works.
